Usage: NOTE NEWS [&<passwd>] [+|-<flags>] [+|-<maxtime>]
<group!username@host>
NEWS with no message is an alias for USER +RS (default max 60 days)
This command is for subscribing on a specified newsgroup from any
user(s) or host(s). Wildcards may be used anywhere. Example:
NEWS irc.note : Subscribe on irc.note
NEWS irc.note@*.no : Send to group irc.note, but only for
users at host *.no
NEWS irc.note : Send to all for group irc.note
NEWS Users@*.edu Hi : Send Hi to all users using note in your
server located at host *.edu.
(Note that only IRC operators can use the final 3 examples.
Advanced users may use User +rs <...> <filter> where filter is a
string which must matches with field in received news message)
Only IRC operators can send news as default.
To send news add message and use same format as subscribing, except
that username field must matches with subscribed group as alt.irc!*.irc -
everybody subscribing on a*.irc or *.irc or alt.irc... would get the news.
A speciall case is the group Users which everybody using note in the server
are member of.
